My BMPCC arrived yesterday! Wooohooo!!! :D Initial thoughts: everything I've read is true - it's a pain in the neck to use, you definitely need a rig, the batteries deplete before your eyes ... but I love it. It's all in the name really - it's a cinema camera, not a shot-grabber. I'm going to have to learn Resolve because the RAW image is just wonderful. No more camera lust for me, I've found "the one" I think. Peaking is superb too - much better than my G6's. But having to scroll through the date and time settings in the menu to change ISO and WB? Without any visual or metering feedback?!?! who thought that was a good idea?!?! I'm currently constructing a mount adapter for my Z-Finder Jr, which looks like it will work just fine. I think I'll add a Nikkor 20mm f3.5 AI-S to my collection at some point. My Tokina 11-16 is great on the Pocket, but a bit massive for some stuff.

Beautiful image but the price not so beautiful.

Thanks John, will check out the Fogta. As far as price range goes, I can't afford an Arri FF! So I suppose real max is £300ish

24-105 f4 is superb on the 5dm2 , I do find that 24-70mm f2.8 on 5d is just too narrow dof to be usefull for anything narative with actors - so Im in the f4 - 5.6 region on a 5d for narative stuff so the dof is useful , I would go for the 24-105mm its a great lens is is very very useful for hand held run and gun stuff
